Hanger Steak With Spicy Miso Glaze

The flavors of this glaze were great, if not that spicy.  We made a small dipping pool of the sriracha on our plates so we could spice it up a bit.  I think that is only because we were expecting spicy.  My husband, who was home late, reheated some in the toaster oven and thought it was really great.  So tasty, but don't expect a lot of heat.  You can always add more.  The 'glaze' wasn't glaze like as I would have thought.  It was more of a thick sauce.  I finished by broiling it for a couple of minutes to try and make it really stick.  My local store didn't have hanger steak, so I used flank and played with the cooking time a bit.  Also, I wasn't buying an expensive bottle of grapeseed oil for this and used safflower instead.  I didn't try this, but I bet you could even make the glaze ahead of time and just cook the meat at dinner time.  The recipe doesn't say this, but I always let meat warm up at least 20 minutes on the counter before cooking.  We had rice and salad with this which keeps it simple since I have a rice cooker.   All in all, fast and tasty.   :) 



Hanger Steak With Spicy Miso Glaze

1/2 Cup mirin
2 Tbs. minced shallots
2 Tbs. minced fresh ginger
1 Tsp minced garlic
1 Tbs. plus 2 tsp. grapeseed oil
2 Tsp light miso
1/4 Tsp Asian hot sauce such as Sriracha
1  1-3/4- to 2-lb. hanger steak trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 Cup thinly sliced scallions
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 400F.
Simmer the mirin, shallots, ginger, and garlic in an 8-inch skillet over
medium heat until the mixture is syrupy and large bubbles start to form,
about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in 1 Tbs. of the
grapeseed oil, the miso, and the hot sauce. Set aside.
Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat a 12-inch oven-
safe skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the remaining 2 tsp. oil,
swirling it until the pan is well coated. Cook the steaks, flipping
once, until browned, about 4 minutes total. Using a pastry brush, spread
the glaze evenly over the steaks, transfer to the oven, and roast until
an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak
reads 130F to 135F for medium rare, about 4 minutes.
Transfer the steaks to a cutting board, let rest for 5 minutes, and then
cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Pour any juice remaining
in the pan over top and sprinkle with the scallions.

Pork Schnitzel with Dill Cream Sauce

Image
I am not the biggest fan of pork chops. I like pork tenderloin, bacon, ham, etc, but chops not so much. I do dig a good pan sauce however so I still was kind of excited. I do like good schnitzel, yes pork schnitzel, but this recipe did not produce that wonderful schnitzel I like. The sauce was pretty yummy and the boys didn't complain about the s so it must be my issues (again:).  My husband picked it off Pinterest and since it was from allrecipes.com I have no problem posting it here. (I am always a little concerned about allrecipes. I have had a few really good recipes, several fixable and a few bad recipes from them.)  I totally forgot about sides when I was at the store, so I cooked a half a box of whole wheat pasta I had cluttering up the pantry and tossed it with a bit of butter.   (and then dill sauce ;) And I steamed some broccoli too.  The boys rated it a 4 & a 4.5, I am torn because the sauce was a 4.5 for sure, the pork more like a 3 for...

Mollet Eggs Florentine

Image
Anytime I think I think I'm pretty good in the kitchen, I try to peel a boiled egg!  I have no idea how anyone can get those perfect, smooth eggs.  Mine look like surface of the moon or somewhere they test bombs!  It was meatless Monday, so in order to keep the boys from rebelling completely, I decide to make an egg dish. (they get some protein that way)  They looked beautiful, and except for the complete pain in the butt part (peeling the eggs) it wasn't too hard to make.  It was well received by my husband(he really liked it actually) , but the boy didn't care for it much.  (too much green IMO)  I thought it was good too despite the fact that I was ready to kill someone after "peeling" the eggs)  It is Jacques Pepin recipe I found on pinterest.   Only thing I might suggest is when he says to shake the pan to crack the eggs, I think he means gently move the eggs until they crack.  I had two casualties after the "shake"  That w...

Ravioli In Mushroom-Walnut Cream Sauce

Image
I found this recipe in the to try file and it looked good, and was quick and easy. Perfect for meatless Monday. Now that mushrooms aren't a veto ingredient for my son, I was totally psyched to have this.  I searched for the source of this recipe, and i found it on the olive garden website. This wasn't where I got it from, but it read identical. While this wasn't an omg dish, I totally dug the heavy mushroom content.  I said 3.5. The boy, who still doesn't like mushrooms, said 2.5. My husband started out at rating it a 3, but when I saw him scraping his plate to get the last if the sauce, he agreed it was a 3.5.  I'm fully aware that my love and lack of mushrooms skewed me in favor of this dish. I made sure to stir the mushroom/walnut mixture. I was afraid it would burn the nuts. I think next time, I would start the mushrooms for a bit before I add the walnuts.  And the dish felt like it needed salt, until the end where it seemed all the parm was lurking, so I gu...
